Countdown

It is getting so close to Christmas. After exercise class many people were wishing everybody a Merry Christmas since this was the last class before Christmas.
It was a rainy night. The wind makes it feel very cold but it is in the 40's. The weather will turn colder tonight and the rain will become snow. I am on my last package of rootbeer lozenges so I made a run to Hobby Lobby for more. I go there about three or four times a year and buy all the rootbeer packages they have. Today I bought twelve. That ought to hold me for a while. I also bought 6 packages of Cherry Creme Drops. I have less control when eating these. I am going to try and make them last through January. Fat chance.

I should pick up the velvet stitch scissors case again. I'm not very motivated.
I have two things I am thinking of putting together. I have a Martha Stewart pointsettia box and I have a leftover initial I stitched for the New England Stitcher's retreat.

I think I will paint the box which is cardboard. Then I am trying to figure out how to attach the stitching. Maybe I can use a layer of batting to pad the top and glue it around the edges. Then I can put lace or ribbon around the edge of the top.
I'm going to go get cozy in the happy chair.
